Is America Leaning.....

Is America leaning so far to the right, we have become wrong. I have to take issue with the word "politically correct". While we all know that common sense tells us to filter out offensive words and actions, being politically correct many times takes it to the extreme. The face of America is slowly changing by being politically correct. It is almost like Big Brother is watching. Certain people can have free reign with what they say and do, while others must carefully monitor each and every syllable that comes out of their mouth. Political correctness is, in essence slowly stripping away many of our rights. This leads to weakness, and I am sure that many of you have noticed that America is not as strong as it used to be in the global world. In the Ronald Regan years, we were a force to be reckoned with. Now, we are barely a force. The other day, I was in the city with my family. We walked past a street vendor. He shouted out to my son "Hey Whitey, want to buy a pocketbook" (By the way, the pocketbooks he was selling were stolen). My son stopped in his tracks and said to me, "did he just call me Whitey?" I saw my son's face as he calculated what would happen to him if he called the street vendor by the color of HIS skin. He thought better of it and walked away, but it bothered him all day. Being politically correct is taking a toll on all of us.
